I know I’m super late to this vid but when I seen the thumbnail I had to watch! As a vinyl collector I’d be ecstatic to find a haul like this! Amazing! There’s no way I’d leave these albums sealed unless maybe I was gonna flip them for sale but otherwise you can’t listen to a sealed record and that’s why I collect music! But that being said, I’m hesitant to buy records that have been sealed for 30 yrs as they don’t call that plastic “shrink wrap” for nothing It actually does continue to shrink potentially warping the record within But if I found these I wouldn’t hesitate to buy and listen! Great stuff! ✌️👽
This one does rank in my top ten records finds over the past 30 years I have been collections and selling. I still shake my head in disbelief when I watch this one.
Unreal ! I am a long time thrifter, and word of mouth is the best way to score collections, hauls, records.. whatever ! Starting off with S.F. Sorrow is fantastic.. I have the repress.. Oh well ! LoL ! Enjoying seeing this haul of yours.. Cheers JT ✌
Amazing! I have a bunch of factory sealed albums (some with original K-mart price tags) that I’m starting to open but I totally get why you might want to keep them sealed. Yes they’re made to listen but it’s a bit of a thrill to own something so unique! Thanks, enjoyed this video!
I used to keep some of my high value modern records sealed but then had a change of heart. Especially with modern pressings (but can happen with older records as well), there can be defects, warps, skips, posters missing etc (I once bought a record that had the second center label glued over the grooves on one side and ended up returning it for a proper copy). I guess my point is, you really don't know what you have until you open i and play it. For the records that are mine, they are all opened now. There is a type of buyer that would pay the premium for the sealed (especially if they too do not intend to open it...acquiring strictly for the collectability). However, if a buyer shells out a few hundred dollars and then opens it and it's problematic, you might end up with a conflict due to buyer's remorse...and depending on which medium you're using to sell, the marketplace tends to side with the buyer. Something to think about...just one dude's opinion. Either way, what a sweet haul! EDITED: With all of those Canadian pressings featured, I also meant to add: fellow Canadian here on the outskirts of Montreal :)
I love Montreal. I lived just outside of Ottawa for a few years when I was kid. I don’t get keeping new records sealed, but a 40-50 year old sealed records is a different story for me. I just don’t know if I want to be the guy who opens it up after making it all these years sealed.
I normally do not trust still-sealed albums UNLESS there is a hype sticker or at least an original store price sticker from a well-known record store or department store. This is for the fact that there are numerous “re-seal” copies out there and you really don’t know what lies beneath, inside of the cover!
I get that. Bit this comes with a decent provenance, several have hype stickers, and most are the original loose baggie style shrink, or have the small factory breather holes (reseals don’t have those )
I normally say that with things that are modern releases. But some Of these have been sealed for close to 50 years. I just don’t think I am the right guy to open them. Plus for %90 percent of these I already have clean original open copies. Plus the financial reality that these are worth more sealed plays into it. Frankly I can’t afford to open most of these lol.
Yeah it’s the most sealed vintage records I have even had in one go. . I have most of these already open so I will more than likely use these are trade bait or sell
Fantastic haul to get all these sealed originals. My worry would be warpage due to the age of many of them, particularly where the shrink wrap is tight.
Yes it is always a concern. I have seen one or two on the past where they were not stored correctly and the shrink pulled the sleeve at the corners. Those I opened up and they were fine. These have been stored correctly for their entire lives and they are all dead strait.
It sure is a treat to see such pristine vinyl sealed in plastic. To open or not? Remember, records were made to be played. Of course, I'd make sure not to play them with a chipped or worn stylus but otherwise- enjoy!
Thing is I have most of these already in pretty nice condition. So I think I am just going to sell them or use them as trade bait and let someone else make the “to open or not” decision lol
Honestly vintage sealed Records are a blessing and a bit of a curse for me. I just don’t think I can be the guy who opens something that lasted this long sealed. The only time I have opened a sealed record was when a friend gifted me a sealed 1961 Nina Simone Forbidden Fruit, that he snagged as a garage sale. He knew I was a huge fan. The catch was I had to open it and we both got to listen to it together over beers for the first play. He knew if he didn’t add that catch I would probably never had opened it. It was kinda cool giving something of that age it’s first play.
Thanks for subscribing. Yes the struggle is real. I will be keeping these sealed. I have open copies of most of these, so it makes it easier. The rest of the collection that is open is pretty great as well, so that makes leaving these sealed a bit easier as well. I will be uploading a video of the open stuff later this weekend
Thanks! Great records,.... There was no such thing as PROMO e.g. DRILLHOLE,CUT CORNER ...It was a discontinued product ( Discontinued album ) which have Hole,Cut, and was made so that the dealer would not sell, or get the full price of the record for the returned record. Millions of these cut, drillholl...Records were imported to Finland and Sweden in the 70's and sold extremely cheaply...And this is a true story!!!
I worked for the BMG record label in the 1990’s and they used to cut the CD’s we have away as promo’s. It was done by one guy at the warehouse. He had worked there pre-cd when it was tapes and records only. I told Him I collected records and he told Me they did the same thing with The promo records that the sales reps gave to records stores as play copies to law sure they didn’t try to re-sell them or return them. Same thing they did with deletes. From what I understand in the 80’s that was how they did most promo stuff because it was cheaper than producing unique white label promo versions
I worked for a major record label for 4 years and most store promo copies were drilled or cuts. All our play copies that were given to the stores were done that way. They also did it for deletes as well. I there are record that are actually marked promo, with different labels ect. , but we never saw them at store level. Those went to radio ect.
Odessa sealed is probabaly one of the most valuable you have there. The reason being is it never turns up sealed. Usually the saw cut on atco are promo’s
I just discovered you channel and subbed you up! Great record haul, my channel is all about vinyl, and you have some killer stuff there! Thanks for sharing, Peace!
I have MANY sealed records. In this day and age, I buy the vinyl and download the music. At this time I can only play music in the car or to a small speaker very low while I sleep. I dont sell any of my records, my wife will when I die 🤣🤣 I hate those drilled holes and cuts in records...detracts from the artwork. I have almost all of these you showed as well. Sealed Edward Bear, awesome. Zepp IV, right on. Man you have a bunch of great stuff there...I assume you're out in Dunnville, I wouldnt think you could these in Toronto that's for sure. Do you flip these?
I do have a store, but a lot of the open ones (see the other video i Made of the rest of the Not sealed collection). are going to end up being upgrades for my collection and I will probably sell the ones I upgraded from. The sealed stuff is a bit of a conundrum for me. I car. Bring myself to open them so I will probably just sell them at some point
Yeah sealed vintage pressings are a curse and a blessing. It’s amazing to have such fantastic records, but part of me wants to open them all! I am not going to, but the struggle is real lol
It’s a little easier though in this case because the rest of the collection , that is open, is pretty darn good as well. I will be uploading that video later this weekend
It’s going to happen more and more over the course of the decade as the baby boomers slowly pass on. But it’s going to be tough going finding things that aren’t swooped up by knowledgeable and persistent hunters. You need to prepare to duel with lots of professionals out there.
You have to ask yourself why you holding on to a sealed 50 year old record? Are you holding it for the next generation fans to enjoy? Then by all means. Are you holding it as an investment? They can end up going both ways. If it's an album you're a big fan of, would you open and play it? Music is meant to be played and enjoyed.
You are right. I think I did say they were all sealed at the start, but I was really excited still after getting these and just kept saying “still sealed” lol
Well I have been buying records since the 1970’s and in the 1990s when no one wanted records and you couldn’t give them away let alone see them as an investment lol. However that has changed. To the point that I just couldn’t realistically afford to open lol. I have never seen them as investments (if you want to invest there is a thing called the stock market apparently), but you can’t deny they have value now, in some cases significant value
I am probably going to auctioning off most of these online eventually. Pricing sealed stuff is tough because there are so few sold comps. Let the market decide lol

Sam the Record Man store in Toronto used to write the prices on the shrink wrap just like that.
Yeah some of these came in old Sam’s shipping boxes when the person who sold them to me dropped them off
Open the record and listen to it. Records are made to be played, not looked at. If you don’t want to open it, then sell it to someone who will.
That is what will probably happen in the end
Absolutely I have opened a bunch well all the sealed albums I find!

Haven't even clicked. See SF sorrow tombstone cover and am already going WOW
It’s a pretty great bunch. The best collection of original sealed copies I have ever had in 35 years collecting
Albums are for playing in my book. Open and enjoy, I say.
I normally say that with things that are modern releases. But some

I keep all my sealed records, sealed
So far I have as well.

Thanks for the sub, and watching. I will be uploading the next video of the opened lp’s from this collection this weekend or early next week

New sub here - I always open and play my sealed records but for Bowie due to rarity I would keep it sealed

Drilled holes and cut corners does not denote a promo copy. FyI.

Thanks for the Sub. I will definitely be checking your channel’ out. Cheers
Value goes down with a cut or a hole..........Schlock bin records....
Cut outs were also used as play/promo copies. I used to work for a record label and the play copies I gave to record stores had cut outs.
Nice
Thanks

Thanks. Much appreciated
It’s a mistake to open them as the value has been sky rocketing. There are fewer and fewer.

yup I own many sealed psych lps
are they all sealed?....jk you went over that haha
You can turn it into a fun drinking game. Every time I say “sealed” have a drink.
That is crazy. How did these survive?
It’s baffling how no one opened these over the years
It’s going to happen more and more over the course of the decade as the baby boomers slowly pass on. But it’s going to be tough going finding things that aren’t swooped up by knowledgeable and persistent hunters. You need to prepare to duel with lots of professionals out there.

Octagonal cover? Or deleted eight times?
Octagonal first cnd pressing, but you just gave me a great idea of my regular square corner versions lol
Or deleted 4 times?
Subscribed. Do you sell online?
Thanks for the subscription. At the moment no I’d don’t sell online.
Might have been easier just to start the video saying all these are sealed. That you would not have to say Sealed after every single one
You are right. I think I did say they were all sealed at the start, but I was really excited still after getting these and just kept saying “still sealed” lol
You couldn't seal your lips 😂
Don't you have the albums becuse of the Music is it just an investment for you
